of preservation. Prior TO being publicly
exhibited they were submitted To the in
.pcction Of Professor Sir Richard owen,
NJ the British museum, and his opinion is
that the animal was a marsupial OF pouch

i-tug African species. Discoveries OF
le0nine remains have at various times
been made in New South Wales and also

of the Volunteer does not justify the
great confidence that the general public
have been taught to indulge in rs to her
undoubted superiority over the Thistle.
She has beaten the Mayfiower and the
Puritan. which are the crack American
boats, but by SO little that if, as claimed
on the other side, the Thistle is greatly
superior to those two, then the chances
are still quite even between the new

A recent case before the United States
Court in Alaska brings out the startling
fact that slavery in its worst forms has
been allowed in a territory of the United
States. A man was brought before the
court ON writ Of haje's c0rpus the plea
being that he was unlawfully restrained
and deprived Of his liberty as an Amen-
can citizen.
The court discharged him after having
heard both sides. in which it appeared
that tie man had been held as slave
and that it was a custom immemorial in
Alaska to hold slaves and not only this,
but it transpircd that human beings were
held and made 20 work under masters
who exercised the power of life and
death over them. and that they were ire
quenty subjected TO cruelty and NAL
treatment.
This may not shock New England
where slavery existed in colonial days ,
but to the ear of the ancient and glorious
Commonwealth Of Virginia it is posi-
lively shocking, and we hope that the
slaves in Alaska will at once be freed by
proclamation, unless that right was
merely a special assumption OF authority
